opera.com 2024/5/18

The points are shared at Old Trafford where Manchester United and Burnley played out a wide-open 1-1 draw, having somehow gone goalless for nearly 80 minutes.

Both sides failed to make the most of their chances throughout a game in which the away side had more of the ball, while Onana made some superb saves to keep the scoreline blank before Antony fired home United's opener with a decisive solo strike.

The Clarets soon struck back, though, as Onana erred and conceded a penalty, which Amdouni coolly converted.

There were no fewer than 43 shots at goal, with the hosts' xG finishing at 1.92 to Burnley's 1.87, and that reflects the nature of an encounter that saw defending take a back seat. 

While Manchester United will meet Crystal Palace next time out, their visitors must host Newcastle United, having at least temporarily moved within two points of 17th-placed Nottingham Forest, who play title favourites Manchester City on Sunday.

After the completion of the match, Man United's playmaker, Bruno Fernandes was named the man of the match after his fantastic performance, according to the Premier League.

The Portuguese midfielder completed 90 minutes, registered 77% pass accuracy, created 9 chances which was the highest in the match and had 3 shots at goal.
